....but I was still punished nobody could have reported the
post as it was never posted. Instead of the photo going up I got the notification I was banned for 24hrs. Have I missed something does your First Amendment still exist? Here we just call it right to free speech. Guessing in US/Facebook it no longer exists


Where are you posting from? I mean, what country?

Have you ever read the US Constitution, in whole or in part?

"Free speech" is not without limitations. Sometimes those limitations are described as "you don't have the right to shout 'FIRE!' in a crowded theater, thus causing panic for no reason."

"Free speech" essentially means that the US government is not supposed to punish you for exercising that right. There can still be consequences, however. I hope you understand that Facebook is not the US government, but a private business with a public face, a business that provides a service that people eagerly seek out. Facebook, as a business, has rules. So does Democratic Underground -- and we are not the US government either. You sign a statement before you participate stating that you agree to abide by the rules here.

Free speech is alive and well in the US, though under assault from the current administration. As for privately owned businesses online and elsewhere -- read the Terms of Service, dansmum.

trumps would not even understand the concept of Jackie's class. It offends me to see their names in the same sentence as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a class act, REAL first Lady of the USA. There have been a few real First Ladies, like Michelle Obama in addition to Jackie O, but there has never been one named trump.

When they overinflate any slight ability the Trump sex worker might have, they don't list Russian as one of the languages. But who knows? They lie so much, they maybe trying to hide her Russian connection.

A Russian Mob plant.

Trump Org has laundered billions in Russian mob money. The Russians positioned a number of 'models' within Trumps orbit knowing that he would 'hit' on one. Her role was to keep tabs on what was going on and report back on anything that the oligarchs would be concerned about.

At some point, she revealed to him what she was, which explains why he is afraid of her. My guess, he told her was divorcing her to upgrade to the current years model. She then informed him that she came with a lifetime warranty insured by a crew of Russian hitters.

That would be true for many Europeans who grew up learning English online or by watching television and movies. I don't hold it against them because I'm the same way when I go to Germany. I can understand German but I can't always answer back in German. On the other hand, their English is better than my German.

Fri Jun 14, 2019, 08:56 PM

and in her official bio in the 2016 RNC program. She later scrubbed the website after journalists looked into it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/07/19/fact-checking-the-second-day-of-the-2016-republican-national-convention/?utm_term=.5a0aba155e80

"After obtaining a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally settling in New York in 1996.”

— Bio of Melania Trump on the convention program

Melania Trump’s speaker bio claimed that she obtained a degree at a college in Slovenia, something that she also claims on her bio on her website. But that’s false, according to journalists who have looked into the matter. In reality, she dropped out of school after the first year and switched to a full-time modeling career.
.........

“In her freshman year, the 19-year-old Melanija Knavs attended lectures on the following subjects: elements of architecture, fine arts, fundamentals of technical mechanics, architectural construction, descriptive geometry, mathematics, and an ideological (read “communist”) elective credit called “General Partisan Resistance and Social Self-protection.” Melanija would have made it to her sophomore year, even having failed 2 exams, but she was supposed to have gotten and held a 1-month internship and kept a journal about it.”

........

“Things got complicated when some Slovenian journalists found and wrote that Melania Knavs was lying to the American media about her education. Since her thesis couldn’t be found in the university system or the country’s national register of publications, journalists started asking for direct and official answers from the heads of the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ljubljana as to whether Melanija Knavs had graduated or not.
.........

Ioffe reported Tuesday for Politico that Melania Trump’s college boyfriend, high school best friend and the University of Ljubljana confirmed that she dropped out of college before obtaining a degree. As the biographers did, Ioffe also found that there was no thesis by Melanija Knavs “anywhere in the registry, though all Slovenes who graduate write a thesis, and all of these theses are catalogued.”

[Update: After our fact-check published, Melania Trump’s website was scrubbed and it no longer carries the claim that she obtained a college degree. As of July 28, her website, melaniatrump.com, redirects to the official Trump Organization website. She wrote on Twitter that the website was removed because it “does not accurately reflect my current business and professional interests.”

......

Below is a screenshot of the bio on melaniatrump.com, before it was taken down. You can view it in this archived version using the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine. Her bio on the Republican National Convention online program still exists, with the same statement that we fact checked.]"....(more)

I read all her Tweets. Every damn day, she posted her fruit breakfast with a flower, her shoes of the day and a sad looking selfie looking out the window of the penthouse, the jet, or a room at Mar-a-Lago. The most boring life possible. No interaction with anyone but a mirror. That is not how educated women spend their lives.

that she was a doting mom to Barron, especially when he was younger. At the time of the interview he was about 7 and it described her assisting with his bath at night and slathering him head to toe in a caviar based cream that she endorsed or sold.

No that’s not odd. Don’t all moms of 7 year old boys do this??

and definitely limited. Must have been intellectually stultifying for a woman with her Einsteinian mind. Of course, since becoming FLOTUS, we can see how she has bloomed. From fresh rose in a vase to wallflower. Ask Donald. That's what he paid for he'll tell you.
